Abstract
The form,size,composition and distribution of mafic microgranular enclaves in the Yuegelu granite in the Eastern Kunlun are studied in detail.The enclaves are characterized by a great variety of forms and strong plastic rheology;their sizes are highly varied,being usually tens of centimeters in diame-ter,and the largest one has a long-axis length of up to400cm;they are mainly dioritic in composition and fine-grained than the host rock in texture as a whole,with the composition and texture varying somewhat in different parts of the rock;they are of uneven distribution,usually occurring densely as clus-ters and bands,and are oriented.Under the microscope,acicular apatite,quartz xenoliths and the idiomor-phic inner core zone and overgrowths of plagioclase are often found,all of which show the features of magma mixing.
